I have been so involved with the mystery quilt, finishing some charity quilts, and a quilted art project I'll be sharing soon, that I haven't done anything new for Valentine's Day this year. I did bring out the wall hangings and decorations, and I'll give you some links to where these were done last year …

Halloween Breakfast
We are going to have some fun today, the car club is having a costume drive. Before we leave, we are having a Halloween breakfast to set the right mood for the morning. I set the table with some fun Halloween things, starting with a wall hanging that I am using as a table topper. …
Gardening Rabbits Tablescape
I just love this tablescape! I was gathering some pretty things for the table, and I really wanted some springtime colors. So much of my tablescaping in the past has been in the cooler months. Seems I like to do more nesting when it is cooler. But, I saw these in a catalog, and I …
Valentine Breakfast
Since I decided to do breakfast instead of dinner for Valentine's day, the tablescape is simpler.

I wanted to preserve this last taste of summer in a breakfast bread, but the only recipes I could find used frozen strawberries. I wanted to use the fresh ones, so I had to develop my own recipe. This one …
Cranberry Cinnamon Scones
These cream scones are wonderful plain, but I wanted to make them a little more special for He Who Loves Cinnamon. With autumn on the way, a little more spice and flavor is in order and cranberries fit the mood. I've made the plain cream scones from a Southern Living recipe many times, so …
Banana Coffee Cake
I have been experimenting with recipes for coffee cake recently and wanted to do something with bananas. When I have bananas, I usually make banana bread, but this time I wanted it to be lighter and more cake-like, yet substantial enough for breakfast. My mother-in-law gave me a recipe long ago for a Sour Cream …
